So as some of you might have noticed, a while back I was all in a tizzy about a Red Hoop Skirt. This dress was the fascination of a friend of mine, Scott, and I during the winter season about 4 years ago.
Don't mind Mr Bones... Someone had to wear it during creation.
Imagine this elaborate mansion with expansive rooms, a changing vantage point of this gorgeous woman running through those rooms in nothing but a bra top and a partially see-through red hoop skirt. It was visually stunning. We both thought, ‘what man wouldn’t want a woman to wear something like that?’
Fast forward to 2010. Being that both of us are geeks, engineers, and know hot lady friends that would actually wear such a garment, we (he more so than I) got the idea of attempting to recreating this garment. There was only one problem; make that two! One, we could not find an example of the skirt anywhere. Apparently, the outfit was a stage prop specifically designed for the TV ad. Two, there was some debate as to the length that we saw being 4 years removed and with lack of visual representation available. Scott thought of a more traditional length where as I believed it to be much shorter.
No matter to him — he created both styles…
Quite a bit shorter, indeed!
This weekend their will be a not-so-secret photo shoot at a very secret location of both of the skirts from our dirty-geeky minds. It is likely that one of them may also show up at the “Dying Light” novel release and book signing party later in the month of July.
